FAQs about EAc2 :

We have a PV array installed on our campus, under the same ownership, but not on the building or within the LEED project boundary. Can we count that toward EAc2?

Because of how our onsite PV system was financed through the utility, the project is selling the RECs associated with its solar energy production, even though we own the PV array and its power. Is there any way we can earn EAc2?

Can I pursue this credit if I am using one of the prescriptive compliance paths for EAp2/EAc1?

Can I really double-count onsite renewable energy in both EAc2 and EAc1?

Our PV system is being installed after the building is occupied. Is that okay?

Our project will have a PV system onsite, but it will be installed, operated, and owned by a separate entity that is paying for the system through a premium price per kWh paid by the utility, per state regulations. Is there any way to count this toward th

A biofuel-based cogenerator is being used to produce both electricity and heat (CHP). Can I consider all the energy produced, or just the electricity?

Can a backup generator qualify, if it runs on biofuels?

CS-2009 EAc2:On-site Renewable Energy

How to calculate %

The reference for the calculation is total energy cost. The output of an array of PV panels is in kwh. How do you convert the PV kwh to USD in order to calculate the % considering the energy is not sold but auto-consumed?

Assuming you are doing an energy model. The energy model uses a utility rate of some sort. From the output of the energy model you determine the virtual rate in $/kWh. This rate is applies to the projected PV output to give you the USD.

Marcus, We are doing an energy model indeed. Thanks for your reply which was helpful
